1. Mitosis
Process by which the nucleus of the cell is divided into two nuclei; each with the same number and kinds of chromosomes as the parent cell

2. 4 Stages of Mitosis Prophase Longest stage Chromatids seen
Centromere connects chromatids
Nuclear membrane disappears
Spindles form and attach near centromere
Appearance of chromosomes

3. Metaphase Shortest stage Chromosomes line up at the equator
Microtubules connect Centromere of each chromosome to the poles of the spindle

4. Anaphase
Chromatids separate at Centromere and move toward poles

5. Telophase
Cell membrane pinches in half
Nuclear envelope reforms

6. Cytokinesis Second stage of cell division
Process by which the cytoplasm divides, forms two distinct cells
Cell membrane pinches in half
Two daughter cell are formed!!
